US sends 4 more Guantanamo inmates to other countries

WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon sent four more detainees from the Guantanamo military prison to other countries on Thursday, a U.S. official said, in President Barack Obama's final prisoner transfers before he leaves office.

  

The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, declined to say which countries accepted the four detainees. But other officials had earlier said the United Arab Emirates would be among the places where the final transfers would go. Saudi Arabia and Oman have taken 14 detainees in recent weeks.
